Downside Up Poem by John Paul Butler

Here in the northern hemisphere
The world feels the wrong way around
So l turned everything on its head
To make things seem like the norm
At least that's what it is to me
Even if it's not so to you
Now it feels like the antipodes
And the southern hemisphere here
Standing up and yet upside down
Appreciating the gravity of things
Without any real equilibrium
Given my proximity to the equator
Maybe it's all in my imagination
But just makes me feel better
And so l fully embrace this world
My downside up existence
